Damn!!!! That's beautiful!!! Who made that?

Yeah, that is an amazing custom. I would love to purchase that head sculpt!

i wish i knew mate, i found it going trew google.

hell yeah id pay 100 if i had to for the whole figure, or trade a vic von doom if it came down to it bro.

that head sculpt alone is fu***ng amazing

as a newer member i found this site gave me a pretty damn warm welcome when i first joined, they've also been really helpful with any and all questions ive had. the community here are a great and helpful group of people and I, for one, am grateful i found(and joined) this site.

now if someone can help me with another question lol, I still cant decide which Spider-Man to get! out of wave 1, 5 and the ones that came packed with Thunderball, Captain Britain, Sentry and Green Goblin, which do you guys think is the best paint wise, scale wise, and articulation wise? i've been researching around for reviews and stuff but i still dont know, so your suggestions and opinions will be much appreciated :)


damn that is one nice figure!, the head sculpt is amazing!

I would wait perhaps until the newest Spidey comes out in the next wave. The way these have worked is that they have been getting progressively better in terms of articulation, sculpt and paint. The Captain Britain was very good but I've had trouble with one of the legs.

One of the best Spidey figures though is the 2010 SDCC movie Spider-Man figure. The latest MU figures are certainly catching up with this one, but it was the gold standard for articulation.

I like my House of M Spidey. I just can't get into the movie suit though the articulation on it is the best. As a classic all around Spidey I like the Spidey from the Sentry comic pack.

Anyone know if the international guardians set (from k-mart) is on sale yet? I am so bored I am willing to drive the 15 miles to K-mart if this thing is on sale...I wouldnt buy it for 19.99 though...

My Kmart still has it for $19.99. They had about 20 on the shelf, I had a sears gift card so I picked it up.

I've noticed a few stores by me started integrating old IM 2, Thor and and Cap lines into the Avengers pegs, anyone else seeing this?

They have had it on sale a time or two but what you really want to do is wait for it to go clearance. all the kmarts in my area have like 15+ of these so hopefully they don't wait to much longer to pull the trigger as I'm sure it is costing them money. also a friend who works there said inventory is coming up, so who knows.

i've seen the peg intergration only at walmart which annoyed me because before that thor and Captain america where on clearance with IM and I was ready to buy. so I got my list together and when I went back it was 8.97 and I told the wife "it ain't worth it"

the new one coming out is Ultimate Spidey right?
and the thing is i would like one definitive Spidey for my collection right now, until i decide to "double up" and whatnot, but with so many of him, you can see my problem lol. ive seen the Captain Britain pack but im not sure how close to classic it is compared to any of the others, i'll keep him in mind though.

and the SDCC one is pretty damn good, but expensive lol. does he fit good with other MU's?

House of M one is pretty cool but im looking more along classic, i think im gunna research the Sentry and Captain Britain ones a bit more..

The SDCC one is in scale with MU. It's basically the original Spidey mold with all the added articulation.

If you are looking for a good spidey right now, the decent one is the one that came with Captain Britain. It is essentially the same one that is in the Sentry comic pack but different head mold (smaller eyes) and added thigh swivels. The upcoming ultimate spidey seems like it doesn't even have thigh swivels but I could be wrong. My main gripe with the new ultimate spidey is no rocker ankles. I think the paper bag head spidey and Future Foundation Spidey is supposed to have rocker ankles but I think its the Dark Spiderman mold (a bit bigger in size).

thanks for all the info! of the new spideys coming out i'd probably only get the FF one though, maybe the Miles variant of ultimate.

but so would you take Sentry's/Cap's pack spidey with the thigh swivels over the Thunderball Spidey with waist movement?

Yeah, I just don't like Kmart, there are always land mines in the parking lot, and by landmines I mean disposed diapers...

I have the Spiderman from the first wave/TRU 3 pack. I have it and will stay with it for one reason only, the web shooting hands , granted he is missing the thumb (Doctor Strange actually has the perfect hands for it) , Spiderman for me is not really a complete spiderman without those hands. Plus he is not too tall like the newer molds, he has sculpted web lines versus the painted ones and I dont think he is expensive like the SDCC one. Hope that helps.http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/...7/c1677403.jpghttp://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/...7/13591d50.jpg

awesome post.

i've noticed A LOT of new posters coming out from hiding lately, which is very encouraging and positive. ToyArk, so far, is a haven for down-to-Earth collectors and enthusiasts who openly welcome new members and help each other out in the process. a real community.

glad ur digging it. good stuff.

you seem to be bored a lot lately, shorty.

you should maybe pick up a hobby. try toy collecting.

I've stumbled across a couple in the store and in shopping carts. sometimes folks kill me why would you not throw that away it can't be so bad you can't find a trash can. anyway Kmart is good for finding those rare nuggets on clearance

@ jerzey if you have the time check out Noodlechow's custom spidey its a combo of the SHS and MU spidey. IMO its the best spidey hands down.

Haha, yeah, just nothing to buy...I have picked up comics now...

Your area got the newer CPs?

I had a Kmart near me close down this month and they wouldn't even discount that CapA three pack past $16.99, bastards.

I did get a Mark 1 comic IM for $1.26 though, so not a total waste. I'd be on that Three pack for 12-13 bucks as the Red Gaurdian is theonly real draw for me, MU have superior Cap Britain's and A's

maybe articulation wise but I prefer the sculpts for the CA line better the MU look underfed

that's what i was thinking too, i want a Spidey with the "rocker" hands. i'm considering the thunderball pack, the wave 5 upside down spidey or the green goblin pack (since its the same spidey as wave one i think, except for the head). pretty much whichever one i find first for the best price, preciate the help though!


yeah before i started collecting i was researching the line and had a bunch of questions (as this was/is my first time collecting figures). this site and thread was pretty much exactly what i was looking for and i've learned a lot, its been good to me lol.

and damn! thats an awesome Spider-man! i never done a custom or anything but that figure just blew me away, wow!

I can agree with that. But the single carded MU Britain is the cat's ass! Big too, also Ultimate Cap A doesn't look too thin. But yeah SW Cap A and the any use of that mold looks too thin for Rogers.
